FC Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu responded to a long list of questirons in an interview with Radio Kanal Barcelona.
As is common, Neymar came up. The Brazilian left Camp Nou for Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a world record 222 million euro fee.
Reports claim he wants to come back, though, and Bartomeu was asked if it's true.
"I've spoken with Neymar, we've seen each other a few times, but his people have never told me he wants to come back," the president said.
"No one's called us about it. Neymar has a contract with PSG. It's his second season there and it's very difficult [to imagine] they want to sell. We didn't want to.
"We have the disadvantage of the [release] clause here. European clubs [can] take advantage of that. That's not the case [in France] so it's not possible for him to return.
"The club's taken another path, with Dembele, Coutinho. We have to move on with them. They're the two biggest investments in the club's history and we back them 100 percent."

guys there's still something behind, the way Neymar left is the same way he can come. there are more things in the contract between Ney and PSG that we don't know. he can move when ever he wants only if a club can pay the money. Forme no one should not say he can't move because he has contract with PSG, once he moved while having contract with barça, he can also move again in the contract. at the end we will see Ney at barça. Because vinicius has already blocked Ney way to Madrid.

Neymar is a great player, he has played at Barca for 4 seasons and I think he deserves to move on, besides we already spent the money on dembele, coutinho, Malcom, and other players, Barca needs to move on and forget about neymar , there are other players that are more talented and young , beside PSG can not sell him. So I think neymar should stay at PSG or move to other clubs we already have dembele and coutinho, although I missed the trio but soon we will have a new attacking force
